Month: November 2006

I had a feeling you were going to quit but I didn’t expect you to sell your account. But yea, Strawberrie is right, it’s your choice. I guess you find it hard to delete us from your friendlist, drop those linkpearls and say goodbye so it’s easier if you just sold it off and cut it clean.

Meh, I had so much I wanted to tell you when you came back. I was happy when I saw your name online in my friendlist and waited for you to log into the game, it took a few hours so I guess you’re getting the updates. Then when "you" finally logged on, I found out it was a different person.

The new guy seems pretty bad at communicating and he looks like he’s set to dirty the skilled-player reputation you’ve built up over the years. But at least he’s not a gilfarmer from what I’ve observed so far. Bah, I hoped he’d at least tell me first that he’s the new owner instead of making me feel stupid.

I hoped you would have let me know so I didn’t have to feel dumb trying to talk with the new person. I felt glad for Tuufless for being able to quit so I would feel the same for you. Although he’s been showing signs of wanting to return, I think I may just stop him now instead of encouraging him.

I levelled PLD to 75 for a friend who quit, to show my appreciation of him. I will level WHM to 75 (of course not in a hardcore manner!) if you bother to email me or if you don’t have my email, PM me in our sky LS forum. But if you wish to totally break off with the friends you’ve made in FFXI, I’ll understand too.

Yesterday, I managed to find an s-video cable for my PS2. My PS2 is hooked to a TV-tuner card so I don’t have to buy a TV for gaming. Previously, I was using the cheap AV(red, yellow, white) cables. FF12’s text appeared a little blur. Because of this, I stopped playing FF12 for a week because I felt uncomfortable about it.

Took me a while to find this s-video cable. Now text appear a lot clearer and sharper. There was a noticeable improvement in graphic quality. Check the screenshots below, click on them to view the original size.

Bought a lot of games recently even though I don’t have time to play them.

NDS: Phoenix Wright 2 (逆転裁判２) Blah, Kaido introduced this game to me. It’s like a graphic novel game. You have to search and collect clues and present them according to the situation and reveal the truth! It’s pretty good for relaxing. I play this before I sleep.

Final Fantasy 3 DS Pretty cool for a DS game. I haven’t played much. It’ll have to wait till I finish Phoenix Wright 2.

Children of Mana Heard the gameplay was disappointing, but good graphics and BGM.

PSP: Dynasty Warriors vol.2 Never play this when you’re doing your business in the toilet, or you’ll never get your business done. Yes, embarrasing but I’m speaking from experience. No, I do wash my hands and my PSP is clean! This game has kept me awake during my bus ride to work. Other games like Valkyrie Profile have failed.

Valkyrie Profile Haha, cool story but I got kinda bored.

PS2: I’ve bought the collector’s edition of FF12, a cheap edition of FF10-2, looking for FF10 still. Also looking for original copies of Fatal Frame 1 and 2 as those are really good and scary games.

Update: For the last 3 days, I’ve been listening to this song over and over again. It’s the only song on my winamp playlist and on infinite loop. Of course, not listening to it 24/7 when I’m sleeping or playing FF12.

I guess it’s the story in the later episodes of xxxHolic that makes this song extra special to listen to.
